a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:The number of units of the device the firm should sell in order to recover its initial investment.

Introduction:The concept of the number of units that a firm must sell for recovering its initial investment is termed as Break even quantity. It is calculated by finding the difference between the total fixed costs divided by selling price of each unit andthe variable costs of the good or service.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine:The amount of total revenue at the break-even volume.

Introduction:The breakeven volume is the volume of total cost at which costs of both internal production and external purchase become equal. The total revenue at breakeven volume is the product of the break-even units by the selling price of each unit.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine:The potential change in break even volume when price of each device is increased to $100.

Introduction:The breakeven volume will undoubtedly change when the selling price of each unit of product is increased. In this case, since the selling price of each unit of the product is more than before, so the quantity of the product sold or break-even volume in units will be definitely lesser than initial volume.

analysis needs to address the following issues: The battery temperatures are a major concern for us. Can you analyze and describe the sample data? What are the average and median temperatures? How much variability is there in the temperatures? Is there anything that stands out? Our engineers’ assumption is that the temperature data is normally distributed. If that is the case, what would be the likelihood that the Safety Zone temperature will exceed 5.15 degrees? What is the probability that the Safety Zone temperature will be less than 4.65 degrees? What is the actual percentage of samples that exceed 5.25 degrees or are less than 4.75 degrees? Is the manufacturing process producing units with stable Safety Zone temperatures? Can you check if there are any apparent changes in the temperature pattern? Are there any outliers? A closer look at the Z-scores should help you in this regard.
